Aetheris

In the heart of the bustling merchant district, whispers of a hidden underground gladiator ring have surfaced amidst a series of gruesome murders. This dark arena, concealed beneath the cobblestone streets, serves as a venue for brutal bloodsport matches where the desperate and the damned fight for their lives, often ending in sacrificial rituals to appease a shadowy patron.

The entrance is a nondescript alleyway, marked only by a flickering lantern. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of sweat and blood, and the walls are adorned with the trophies of past champions—bones and rusted weapons. The arena itself is a circular pit, surrounded by a raucous crowd, illuminated by torches that cast eerie shadows on the grim faces of the spectators.
